Question

In the Compton scattering of electrons, by photons incident with wavelength λ,

• A. \(\frac{\Delta \lambda}{\lambda}\) is independent of \(\lambda\)
• B. \(\frac{\Delta \lambda}{\lambda}\) increases with decreasing λ
• C. there is no change in photon's wavelength for all angles of deflection of the photon
• D. \(\frac{\Delta \lambda}{\lambda}\) increases with increasing angle of deflection of the photon

Answer 1

The Correct Option is B, D

The correct option is (B): \(\frac{\Delta \lambda}{\lambda}\) increases with decreasing λ and (D): \(\frac{\Delta \lambda}{\lambda}\) increases with increasing angle of deflection of the photon
